Helping families find it

The most common finding about local offers in Ofsted / CQC area SEND inspections is not that the site is wrong. It is that families do not know it is there.

We build sites to be found and to be trusted. To reflect your SEND strategy, section by section, so what families read matches what the partnership has promised.

Every page takes feedback. You said, we did is published continuously. And we work with you on the part most councils struggle with, telling families the local offer exists.

Engagement 

We an help you with engagement ideas for parent carers and young people. We'll even run sessions for you. This often helps when there's a tension between the parent carers and the council. 

And engagement isn't just for  a new Local Offer website. It should be happening all year round, across all your services. 

Marketing

We'll share marketing ideas that have worked for other councils. It's important that all parent carers and young people know what the SEND Local Offer is for. 

Social media

Facebook is getting more complicated. Do you need to pay now? What other social media might work well too? 

Schools and settings

A link to the SEND local offer on every setting's SEND page. And a link to every SEND page from the setting's listing on the local offer. 

Doctor's surgeries

Posters, leaflets in places where your parent carers go.

Local events

A lot of councils now run "Local Offer Live" events, but have you thought about having a stand at a family based fair or event?
